The Scope of Network Penetration Testing Work:

  • Organizations’ security weaknesses in their network infrastructures are identified by a list of hosts or targeted hosts and add them to the scope.
  • Select menu bar – File > Add host(s) to scope

  • The above figures show target Ip is added to the scope. Your network can add a range of IPs to scan.
  • After adding Nmap scan will begin and the results will be very faster. now scanning phase is done.

Open Ports & Services:

  • Nmap results will provide target open ports and services.
  • The above figure shows that the target operating system, Open ports, and services are discovered as scan results.

Brute Force Attack on Open Ports:

  • Let us Brute force Server Message Block (SMB) via port 445 to enumerate the list of users and their valid passwords.
  • Right-click and Select the option Send to Brute. Also, select discovered Open ports and services on target.
  • Browse and add dictionary files for Username and password fields.

  • Click Run to start the Brute force attack on the target. The above Figure shows Brute force attack is successfully completed on the target IP and the valid password is Found!
  • Always think failed login attempts will be logged as Event logs in Windows.
  • Password changing policy should be 15 to 30 days will be a good practice.
  • Always recommended to use a strong password as per policy.
  • Password lockout policy is a good one to stop brute force attacks (After 5 failure attempts account will be locked)
  •  The integration of business-critical assets to SIEM( security incident & Event Management) will detect these kinds of attacks as soon as possible.

SPARTA is timing saving GUI Toolkit for pen-testers for the scanning and enumeration phase.SPARTA Scans and Bruteforce various protocols. It has many more features! Happy pentesting.
